I have encoutered a problem with FontAgent Pro. Does anybody know a solution?

Many of my fonts refuse to import into the program. I go to import the font and in a few seconds get a message something like: "No fonts were imported. No problems were found." I would say 10 or twenty percent of my fonts behave like this. Lately I've been using FontBook as a work around.

I cannot help you, but did want to say that I ran into the same thing. I have a huge font library, with many duplicate type families (though not usually duplicate fonts), and it seemed to give Font Agent Pro some sort of fit.

Right now the freeLinotype FontExplorer seems to be the favorite Mac font manager. Have to confess that I haven’t set it up yet myself, but really must — I too have been limping along with FontBook.

I should imagine that Linotype is waiting to see if the Windows version works with Vista; it wouldn't be much use unless it does.

"Waiting to see if it works" is not how software development works. If they're really interested in having it work on Vista they would be busy already ensuring it does work, as many developers do with their applications. The question is - are they?

Everyone knows that. But (a) Linotype may have not got it to work yet, (b) even if it is sure that it works, Vista hasn't been released yet, and (c) it may be considered safest to make quite sure that it will work with the production version(s).
